Font no longer recognized. FIX NOW......
Prior to the InDesign 16.0.2 update, fonts worked fine. Now - fonts I've used for years (such as Futura Extra Bold) no longer work.
This needs to be fixed. NOW..

Upside down graphics in CC library Indesign version 16.0.2
I am trying to click and drag graphics from my document into a CC library and while the graphic is added, it is added upside down. When I double click on the graphic a new document opens up with just the graphic and it is once again upside down.

Adding new facing pages moves shape layers on other pages
I am designing facing pages for a 300 page book layout in InDesign V16.0.1. When I add a new set of facing pages above pages that have existing graphic elements on them, the a few of the shape layers on some of the below pages shift approx. 18 points to the left or right for seemingly no reason. It is not all of the shape layers on all the pages, it's just one here and there, and sometimes it's text layers too. None of these elements are grouped with any others, and they are not Master Page elements. It appears…

The "spinning ball" when working with a graphic box!
I have a serious problem! My InDesign 2021 (version 16.0.1) shows the "spinning ball" every time an image is placed into the graphics box, as well as when duplicating, copying, pasting the image box (with an image inside), as well as when updating the image in the graphics box. The "spinning ball" is shown every time for 11 seconds. However, the image type (psd, tiff or eps / ai / pdf) does not matter. Working with such a performance bug is very difficult. Adobe, I demand to fix this as soon as possible!

InDesign index entry dialogue box virtually unusable
Have been using the indices extensively on a project - rarely use it this often - and can't help but notice the size of the dialogue box makes editing virtually impossible. The entry is barely 15-20 characters wide, when a lot of entries I have are more than 50-60 - some 100 or more. Could really use a much better dialogue box - and the index menu itself the type is much too small to work with easily - almost going blind using it! Thanks.

InDesign file size out of control
Working on a large 2500+ document and any time I open and make even a minor update - just updated the TOC automatically - the file balloons from 48MB to over 72MB in size. Unnecessary. Please get this under control. Thanks.

InDesign no longer automatically returns to source folder
Noticing with the recent updates that InDesign no longer returns to the source folder when opening files and/or importing content. It throws me somewhere else... sometimes root user folder [of no use] sometimes a folder I used days ago, very unstable implementation.
InDesign has a temp file associated with it - you open an InDesign layout - it creates a file with a garbled filename - no other apps do this, just InDesign. Why does it not use this temp file to help it locate where it should point to?
I'd really rather eliminate the temp file altogether. Can it…

command tab
I'm finding that InDesign is breaking Command+Tab (app switching) in Big Sur, from 11.0 to 11.1, the current version.
Quitting InDesign brings it back, and simply booting InDesign breaks it. Leaving it open in the background once broken keeps Command+Tab broken until I quit InDesign.
I went through Keyboard Shortcuts as well as Apple's Shortcuts and found nothing conflicting.

Pdfs come in upside down and inverted when viewed in 'high quality display' in InDesign, 16.0.. Mac OS, Big Sur 11.01.
The problem is only in 'high-quality display' It shows normal in 'typical display.' When exporting from InDesign to a PDF there is no issue. This is a display rendering bug. Note: pdf I'm linking to was from Adobe XD.

Location of link,indd & export files
INDD CC on PC win10
Working with local files and 2 LAN locations.
1) Sick of Indd updating every week and forgetting file locations.
2) the two options "Original Link folder" and "most recent Relink Folder" are meaningless.
I would like to be able to drag a job folder from the network and work on it with Indesign first looking in that local folder for its links, link folder and fonts instead of the original job folder on the LAN.
Why? - lets say I had an idea and want to test it without ruining the Main job. I make…1 vote -
Place dialogue blank
The place dialogue is often a nearly blank/greyed-out box. Sometime ID crashes, sometimes it allows me to a place the file through the dialogue, sometimes the dialogue disappears when I click the pasteboard. It happens seemingly randomly.

Publish Online roll over bug
I'm using InDesign 2021 version 16.0.
I seem to be running into an issue with the roll over effect in Publish Online. The issue seems sporadic, but once the bug happens, it doesn't fix itself.
I've setup a timeline so that when you roll over the date, info will be visible. This works initially, but then when I try to go back to some dates that I've previously rolled over, the info does not show up. Expected result is to have the info shown when you roll over the date. Actual result shows that the button to trigger the roll…

Preflight panel Overset text not showing page number

Preflight panel Overset text not identifying page numberFor a couple different files, I got an error message in the Preflight panel, indicating the presence of Overset text, but NO page number. In both files, it said it was an issue with footnotes, but not where. One of the suggested fixes is to allow Split Footnotes, but that option is already checked.

After a lot of sleuthing, we eventually found the error. In one of the two files there were multiple errors in multiple locations. The entire footnote had vanished. The footnote reference was still there, but…

Creative Cloud hijacks my entire computer - slow to the point of unworkable
I see this issue so HUGE in forums everywhere and find it frustrating with the support team coming up with lame answers every time, mostly blaming the user and with micro solutions that are temporary. These issues are known issues and keep coming back. Support close the tickets too readily and we can't re-open those cases to demonstrate how this is unresolved.
I've tried every remedy including:
- Uninstall Creative Cloud and all apps and reinstall
- Many times 'Repaired' - pretty much every restart it needs 'repairing'
- Used the cleaner tool
- Cleaned specific cache as instructed
- Made a second user to…
